Pinal County Supervisor Jeff Serdy
More than ever before, getting involved in local politics is essential for us as Republicans to uphold our values, maintaining a robust party infrastructure, and shaping policy decisions that affect our communities. The consequences of complacency or inaction will result in a loss of influence, misaligned policies, and missed opportunities for Pinal County to thrive.
Local governments make decisions that directly impact people's daily lives, such as education, law enforcement, zoning regulations, and taxation. Getting involved allows Republicans to influence policies that align with conservative values and priorities. If they don't engage, policies may veer in a direction contrary to their beliefs.
Local politics is where many future state and national leaders begin their careers. By actively participating, Republicans can identify and support talented individuals who share their values. Failing to do so may result in a lack of strong candidates at higher levels of government. Just think about it. Nobody knew who Mark Lamb was 8 years ago. Pinal County now has one of the most beloved an well known Sheriffs in our Country, who is likely to be our next U.S.Senator.
Local governments can serve as a buffer against overreach from higher levels of government. Republicans can use local politics to push back against policies that threaten conservative principles. Complacency may lead to unchecked liberal policies impacting local communities.
Active involvement in local politics allows Republicans to build a strong grassroots network. This network can be mobilized to support Republican candidates at all levels, improving electoral outcomes. Neglecting local politics may weaken this critical base of support.
